    I need to replace mine soon and I was wondering the same thing. After close inspection it seems as simple as 3 bolts. Did you replace yours yet Kwik?

    My repair manual said to take my alternator off to get to the tensioner bolts .My tensioner spring was still strong so for 25 bucks I just bought a new idler pulley and took out one bolt that holds it on the tensioner and replaced the wheel.

    Awesome!! Mine has been squeaking for months, couldn't believe how expensive it was for a new one. Good call on just replacing the pulley.
